KSS Dataset: Korean Single speaker Speech Dataset

KSS Dataset is designed for the Korean text-to-speech task. It consists of audio files recorded by a professional female voice actoress and their aligned text extracted from my books. As a copyright holder, by courtesy of the publishers, I release this dataset to the public. To my best knowledge, this is the first publicly available speech dataset for Korean.

Each line in transcript.v.1.3.txt is delimited by | into six fields.

• A. Audio file path
• B. Original script
• C. Expanded script
• D. Decomposed script
• E. Audio duration (seconds)
• F. English translation
